I belive a letter came in to ILCA Globe or JHL (I honestly cannot remember)
with a report of a mother who had both nipples pierced and then had a baby.
She actually began by expecting baby to be able to breastfeed with the
rings still in place!  Ack!  Finally, when that didn't work, she took one
ring out and baby nursed on that side. (There was some kind of significance
to keeping therings in, I recall--dimly--something about the marriage
ceremony she and her boyfriend wen through. Do you think they had matching
piercings and rings?)

My only concern centers on the potential for scar tissue blocking
(partially or comopletely) ducts and pores.  But, then again, I am also at
a loss re: anyone would want to pierce more than an ear lobe
(old-fashioned, I guess).




Def. of LC service: "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as impossible situations."
